PITTSBURGH — The Rockies have been winning with pitching, and with a tiny bit of timely hitting. Wednesday afternoon, they didn’t pitch well and they didn’t hit a lick.
Little wonder that they lost 10-2 to the Pirates, finishing their seven-game road trip with a still-encouraging 5-2 record.
Colorado right fielder Carlos Gonzalez left the game after the fourth inning with a right hamstring strain, after making a sliding catch in right field.
Left-hander Kyle Freeland continues to struggle and he remains winless after four starts, with a 5.85 ERA. The Rockies managed only seven hits.
